Ocasio-Cortez Says She Doesn’t Have Congresswoman’s Salary Yet. She Asks: ‘How Do I Get An Apartment?’

The Daily Caller - 2018-11-09 01:22:00

Democratic socialist and Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York announced Thursday that issues like finding an apartment in Washington, D.C., before receiving her congressional salary are “very real.”...

Really, how about getting a job and save the money for an apartment. Free ride is over. You are now on your own. You stepped in big girl panties so you figure it out.

So basically she’s wanting someone to get her an apartment and help pay for it because she doesn’t manage a good enough budget for herself. Her “just pay for it” isn’t working so well...

We are going to pay this person lifetime retirement & security in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.Politicians should have to serve 20 years, like all other federal employees, before retirement eligibility.Even if she only serves two years she gets it for the rest of her life. That is WRONG!!!!

Go stay with the homeless shelter on your area. You get a free meal and possibly a hot shower daily. Live like some your constituents live...on the streets.

Go in the back yard and pick it off the trees. That is where you think money comes from, right?

Ocasio-Cortez: The way we baby-boomers do it is 1.) go to work, 2.) get paid, 3.) put money into your bank account, 4.) apply to apartment of choice, 5.) make payments on time. Life is good.... Also, better yet, I'm sure Hillary has a room for you and at a darn good discount.

Did she not realize that they don't put you up with room and board when you are elected? Watch in 4 to 6 years she will be a millionaire and can't afford an apartment now.

...Cortez is so excited about getting to Washington, she's already booked her flight to Seattle...

Why do they even bother to give this woman air time? Everytime she opens her mouth something stupid comes out.

Buy a newspaper or apartment finder and start looking. Then write a check for first, last, and security deposit like everyone else in America. With your vision for the USA, I'm certain you have enough savings on hand until all your free stuff starts rolling in! Happy hunting!

Take the same advice you gave the interviewer who asked you how we are going to pay for Medicare for All....you said, "JUST PAY FOR IT.".... So....there you go....

If this is an example of her ability to manage even her own life, how in the world does anyone expect her to know anything about government?????????

She's expecting someone to set up a GoFundMe account for her like they did for Dr. Ford. This girl is clueless and so are the people that voted for her.

Well, when she gets to Washington, deciding where to get an apartment is critical. Will she choose Seattle or Tacoma??

I heard recently that you, "Just... pay for it"!!! Try that on for size, Cortez, and then let us know how that worked out for you!!!

You can come up with a $40,000,000,000,000 health care plan, but can't afford to rent an apartment. Way to go New York.

She can get an apartment for $2 per month because, like she already knows, those three zeros after the $2 are just that, zeros.

Paul Ryan and 30 other GOP house members sleep in there office due to not being able to afford a place in DC, So join the club. But I'm sure a Democrat lobby will provide a home for you.
